To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH of the United States, residing at Plano, in the county of Kendall andState of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Grain-Shockers, of which theffollowing is aspecification, reference being had to` the drawings forming a part thereof.

lThis invention relates to improvements in mechanism for shocking grain, and particularly to that class of grain shockers in which the sheaves are received .by the shocker mechanism from a self-binding harvester to Which the shocker is attached and from which its several mechanisms derive power. The improvements relate to means -for transferrinflr the sheaves from the point of delivery by the harvester to the mechanism of the harvester by which they `are accumulated in the shock rece tacle; the mechanism for tripping the shea -accumulatin mechanism into action; mechanism for e evating the sheaves for the purpose of delivering them into the shock receptacle; mechanism y for trip ing the shock rece tacle for upsetting yan dumping the shoc mechanism for operating the shock-upsettingmeans; mechanism 'for checking the shock at erect position to upon delivery to the ound, and construction for permitting t e adjustment of the shocker binder and shock receptacle for long and short bundles, and for making such adjustrnent. A

` The invention consists in the elements and features of construction and combinations for these purposes which are shown and described and set out in the claims.

In the drawings z-Figure 1 is a plan view of'a shocker embodying my invention shown connected to the. stubbleward portion cfa harvester 'with-Which it is designed to operate. '/Fig. 2 is-a 'grainward side elevation of a shocker disconnected from the harvester. Fig. 3 is a plan @view-of the shocker frame stripped omechanism. Fig. 4 isa stubble- 'Ward side elevation of the frame Vstrip dof mechanism. Fig...5 is a perspective view of u 1 the framestripped o f mechanism. Fig. 6 isa plan view of'a portion of the shocker and a portion of the mechanism thereon, the. elevator frame bars being broken awav end tlie' elevating mechanism removed.A ig. 7 is a partly sectional elevation looking rearward cfa yportion of the shocker frame and certain BODA, a citiZerif prevent it from being prostratedl arts of the mechanism thereon, certain Frame' bars and shafts being shown in section at the line 7-7 on Fig. 6.

Fig.1r 12 isa detail section'at the line 12--12 on Fig. 11.k Fig. 18y is an enlarged view of certain details of the 4trippin ldevices shown in Fig; 12. Fig. 14is a etail section on an enlarged scale at the liney 14.-- 121 on Fig. 6. Fig-..15 is a detail section at. the line 154-15 on Fig. 2'. Fig. 16 is a detail 'perspective view of one of the sliding, driving bility at its connection as to ada t it to accommodate itself to the va-ryin evel of the ground, but having rigidity Wit the harvester frame in' horizontal lane. The operating mechanism mounte on suchframe derives power from the harvester train by one shaft connectingra rotatin part mounted on the. harvester ame auf? fa rotating part mounted on the shocker frame, the connections of such shaft at both ends being made by universal `oints, and the shaft itself being provided Wit means for telescoping sogas to accommodate the chan-ges of relative posi-4 tion of the-harvester frame and shockerframe as the machine travels over uneven ground.

The rigid frame bar, 1, of the 1 harvester. frame at the stubble side has projecting rigidly fromit near the forward end a bracket, 2, and a rear frame bar, 3, of the harvester frame has securedto it, and projecting off 45 joined at its forwar end to the slant-bar,

12, and at its rear end to the' rear grain- 'commodating itself to variations in the l within itself. It comprises a fore-and-aft tie bar, 4, as described. The shocker frame `machine There is another fore-and-aft bar,

16 and 7, there is a fore-and-aft bar, v8, extending only between the transverse bars, 10 and 11, to assist I in supporting the mechanism.

.same level, which may be called thelower l'20, projects upward, and the fore-an -aft directly l'17, crosses it, the portion, 13.,A extending obliquely, rearwardly and stubblewardly from it, a tie rod or bar, 4. The extremities ofthe bracket, 2, and tie rod or bar, 4, are approximately in the same fore-and-aft line and to them at their extremities the frame of made 'in a plivotal manner by means about which the s ocker frame may pivot for acground.

The shocker frame is substantially rigid sill, 5 ,which at the forward end is connected, as described, to the stubbleward extremity middle of the length of the entire shocker frame is connected to the extremity of the comprises? in addition to this longitudinal fore-and-aft bar, 5, a parallel bar, 7, and these two bars are connected at ltheir forward ends by an 'oblique bar, 15. The are further' connected by direct transverse ars, 9, 10 and 11'. Thebar, 5, does n ot extend extends past the bar, 11, underneath the` shock receptacle to the extreme rear of the 6', of the same size as the bar, 7,- which ex-vr tends from the transverse bar, 10, to the rear of the machine, and intermediate the bars,

The bar, 19, makes junction at its upper end with the'slant-bar,

fore-and-aft bar, 7. From the junction of at its lower end near the the foot of the post, 20, with the fore-and-aftv A bar, 24,4 connects the stubbleward-V junction of said bar, 24, withthe bar, 17, a j

slant-bar, 23, extends up to the top of the post, 18, which is in line with the tops of the posts, 19 and 20, and there is thus formed the stubblewardrtriangular frameelement of the Y elevator. The bar,-25, is further su ported byl ashort post, 20", extending from t e foreand-aft bar, 6, directly up toV said transverse bar, 25. From the foot of the post, 20h, on the Abar, 6, a transverse bar', 25, extends Vacross thebar, 7 to which itis j oined," to the foot ofthe post, 18, to which it isjoined.ll An' obli ue brace, 27, connects the corner formed by the rear end of the bar, 5, u ri ht post,

20a, and transverse bar, 11, wit t e junction of the post, 20", transverse bar, 25, and the fore-and-aft bar, 6. Asiniilar oblique brace, 28, connects the corner formed at the foot of the post, 18,I by its junction with lthe bar, 25, with the bar, V7, to which saidbrace is joined near the junction therewith offA the transverse bar, 11. vr For completing the'frame of the shock receptacle, atransverse bar, 30, extends .across and -is oined to the bars, 6 and 7, a short distance forward of their rear ends, andaforeand-aft bar, 31, extends from the foot of the post, 18, at the lowest frame level of the machine rearward past the stubbleward end of the transverse bar, 30, to which saidbar,;31,.

is oined and beyond which it proj ectsas-:faras the bars, 6 and 7. Four triangular frames constitute the rear wall of the shockrecep tacle, the iirst comprising the upright post,Vl 32, the slantost, 33, jolned attheir'upper ends and at t eir lowerends. footed on thel bar, 31, at the junction of the bars, 30 and 31 and the nslant-post, 33,1 at therearend of. the bar, 31, Two similar triangular frames consist each of an upright po'stj,f1.34and slantpost, 35, naking junction at tflierupperends, the based being formed by thefbars, 6 and 7, .the posts, 34, being 4so footed. t the intersec-L tions of the bar 30 with the bars, 6 and 7..re

spectively, and the slanto s'ts,l 35, being footed at the rear ends of t e bars, 6 and 7. A fourth triangular frame is formed by the upright post, 37, slant-post, 38, and short triangular base-bar, 39, said frame being joined at its right angle at the foot of the upright,

14, to the grainward end of the bar, 30, and having said-upright post joinedfas already stated, to the fore-and-aft bar, 22. lA fiat bar, 40, extends across the rear ends of the bars, 6, 7 and 31, and across the bar, 39, for further rendering themrigid. An additional tie-bar, 41, parallel with the bar, 22, connects the upright post, 14, to the upright post, 20, at the grainward side of the shock receptacle.

U on considering this frame construction it Wi lbe observed that by the termination of the bar, 5, lat the point forward of the shock receptacle, and of the bar, 25a, at apoint stubbleward of the Igrainward side of said receptacle, provision is made for a recess or clear opening into the space which, in general, is defined by the outlines of the frame at the grainward endof the shock receptacle, such recess extending forward of the receptacle u'nder the elevator for some distance,that is, to the post, 20". At the stubbleward side a similar recess will be observed formed under the stubbleward portion of the elevator 'frame which extends beyond the vertical plane of the triangular frame element con'- sisting ofthe post, 19, slantqbar, 13, and fore.` and-aft bar, 7`. These recesses are particularly provided to accommodate the caster Wheels, 42 and 43, as further hereinafter de-v scribed.

The triangular portion oi the horizontal frame-work formed between the bars, 5, 9 and 15, at theforwardend, it-uillbe observed, extends opposite and directly behind the' delivery side of the harvester binder deck, and upon this portion ofthe frame there is mounted means for receiving the bundles from the harvester and carrying them from position extending longitudinally fore-and-aft, around through a 90 degree path to a position extending transversely of the path of travel of the machine, ready to be advanced s idewise rearward for accumulating them in the shock receptacle which is mounted above the rear end portion of the2 frame, aaalrea'dy described. Overfthe space defined between the transverse'bars, 10 and 25, upon the slant-frame already described3- there is mounted mechanism for liftingbundles in order to deliver them by vityl over into the shock receptacle locate the elevator. In the triangle defined by the oblique tie-rod, 4, and transverse and foreandeaft of lines from itsfront and rear ends. respectively,` universal.. jointed. telesco i shafts, 16, extend from the shaft of a W eel` onthe harvester frame to the shaft 'of a wheel on the shocker frame for transmitting power' from the harvester train to the shocker train, as hereinafter more particularly described..

The mechanism 'of the shocker is constructw. ard and their y ydelivering thejshockby tilting it outwardly htPitiQa-uo thereby deli-vering it stubblevv ar ind.

ed for accumulating bundles to form the shock prostraeipxthehockirece tacle'iatthe position4 indicated, With their f grain-` upward from prostrate-.to,.upri p with respect to the direction of traveLa-out of the shock receptacle. In orderto 'afford'a clear path for such' sideward delivery of the shock it is necessaryto avoid any obstruction v in the path ofthe outgoing shock, 'and means for supporting the shocker at 'the stubble- Ward side, therefore, consist only of a casterviheel, 42," which is mounted on a Ysuitable bracket, 44, rigidly secured to the horizontal bar, 24, andthe slant-bar, 23of the elevator frame, so that thecasterwheel may s wing ifn therecess mentioned, 0f the frame under the overhanging stubblew ard ,end portion of the elevator forward of the shoek receptacl e and 4of theoutgoing shock. nIt viill be noticed that the foremostsup 'ort of the shocker is obtained at thepivota connection ofthe for- Ward end of the sill', 5, -with the bracket, 2, which is vprojected for the purpose stubbleward ofthe harvester frame, said harvester frame becoming thus the means for carrying the front grainward corner of the shocker frame. In order to render the'shocker frame suitably stable and at the same time adapted toaccommodate itself to the ground and to be carried with the harvester frame in turn.-v in corners without dragging its'wheels, a third support is provided for it, consisting likewise of a caster-wheel, 43, mounted' on a bracket,l 45, which projects rigidly grainw ard Vfrom..` the' shock receptacle-, to Whose grainwardside-bars', 22 and 41, it is secured. The.

Wheel, 43, is thus located, substantially o v posite grainwardly from the" center of` vt el shock receptacle. The three points ofsupport ofthe shocker'framef-at the end ofthe racket, y2',.and,on thetwo caster-wheels, 42 and 43', thus define a triangle above which are located all theneavy portion of themechanism andjbeyond'yvhich there is projecting only-a.

i' For transmitti porter from the harvestertrain to the shoe er train, any convenient continuously-rotated shaft or wheel harvester train,. asia'transverse shaft, 45W commonly foundrilirevailing types ofvesters at the rear o the'traction Wheel, may be selected: land rovided with;` sprocket Wheelh-48', trom which is driven bjii chain, 49, an' added sprocket wheel, 5(1), mounted in a bracket, 50, on the rear sill ofl the harvester. A short stub axle 50a, of this added sprocket wheel, 50', becomes the shaft on the harvester frame to be connected with a shaft on the shocker frame by the telescopL ing shaft, 16,having'its forward grainward end a universalr joint, 16?, connecting it with the stub axle or shaft, 50, of the wheel, 50,

and having at 'its rearward' stubblewardend alike universal joint, 16, which connects vit Vwith a shaft, 50C, journaled on the' shocker frame and having yconnections, hereinafter describedt by which the :several trains or parts of the entire train" of the shocker are actuated. j i o,

For receiving the bundles and turning them from their fore-and-aft position at delivery .from the harvester to a transverse 0 position-.-preparatory to moving them sidewardly. rearward to accumulate them to form a shock, there is provided a cradle mounted to swing upon a vertical axis at the rear end anddelivery side of the harvester g5 deck. For this purpose a bracket, 51, is

mounted :upon the sill, 5, and a frame, colinprising a bar, 53, is secured `to a cam plate, 54,3having'a rigid stud or pivot spindle, 55, by'which the cam and the frame bar, 53, are

swinging in a horizontal plane about said pivot. On the shaft, 50C, fromlwhich all power for the shocker mechanism is derived, a gear, 56,`is Securedrigidly, and this gear meshes' with the gear, 57, having rigid with it a sprocket wheel, 58, and ,mounted on a stud axle projecting from the frame sill, 5.

A chain, 59, from the sprocket wheel, 58,

drives the sprocket wheel, 60,on thegrainward end of a shaft, 61, which is journaled in a bracket, 52, which is mounted on the bars, 9 and 10, and also :in ais'uitable bearing on"r the bracket, 51. onthe shaft, 61., meshes with a bevel gear; 63, which is also journaled in the bracket, 52,- at the upper side thereof, and which has a further bearing on a fore-and-aft frame'bar,

64g, parallel with and above the bar, 5, and" made rigid therewith by a spacing bracket, 64a, at the forward end and by being secured at the rear end to abracket on the elevator -slant bar, 12.; At the upper side of the bar,

64, there is mounted on the shaft of the gear,

6.3,af ank plagte, 65'; having a stud-and-roll ,'whichjengages in the slot, 67, late, 54.' The form of the slot is such that the rotation of ngaged therewith swings the onzfthefba,'f53,"back and forth through a swing of 19() degreesIk about the pivotjof 'the cam plate in the bracket, 5].. On the bar 53,there is mounted the cradle consisting of two orv more curved arms, 68, for receiving 6.3 the bundle. A rock shaft, 69, mounted on crank plategives to the cradle'fits'qiiadrantf;

81 is a rock shaft mounted in bearings projecting from the frame bar, 17, having a short lever arm, 81?, in position to be encountered by the end of the finger, 79, when the 'arm of the trip, 76, is swung inward by the encounlter of the tripper, 75, and such encounter rocks the'- shaft, 81. Said shaft extends grainward beyond the grainward slant-bar,

" `12, ofthe elevator on which it is afforded bearing,- and at its'grainward end there is mounted on it a tri arm, 82 which, at the normal position of t e shaft,`-that is, before the encounter 'of the tripper, 75, with the l' rvtrip, 7 6 extends in position to stop a trip dog,

v gagement of the gear, 56, on the initial shaft,

'51, .of the shocker train, and thereby the elevating mechanism isset in motion for carrying up by means of the arms, 88, ofthe elevator chains, 77, the bundle which has been deposited above those arms bythe cradle in the same movement which tripped the ele-y vating mechanism into action, as described. The rock-shaft, 81 after being rocked by the .encounter of the tripper, 75, with the trip,

76, may quickly recover its position because the cradle immediately retreats after that encounter.; and lin order that the trip-arm, 82

may not drop back and rengage the dog, 83, before the. latter has time to become engagedwith the uratchet hub, the dog is provided with a spring-pressed terminal, 89,

- which directly receives the encounter of the trip arm, 82, with the dog,-,and is thrown back by lits spring, 90, instantly when the trip arm is rocked out'from behind it, and it .thereby prevents the trip arm from coming back behind it, even if the engagement of the dogwitli the ratchet hub should be delayed. Loose on the rock-shaft, 81, outside the trip arm, 82, there is a second arm, 91 and alink., 92, extends from the arm, 82, throughthe arm, v 91, which is provided with an eye for that purpose; and beyondthe arm, 91, .a spring, 93, is coiled` around the link and stopped by aV nut, 74, on the end thereof, re-

, acting to,force the two lever arms together 1l Yma and resist their angular spread. The arm, 91, bears against a cam edge, 84, of the disk, 84, and this lodgment or stoppage of the arm,- 91, causes it to act as a stop for the spring, 93, so that the spring resists the rocking of the shaft, 81, inthe movement which disengages the trip arm, 82, from the dog, and tends to return said arm to position for again tripping the dog when it completes a revolution.

When the finger, 79, collides with the lever arm, 81a, for'rockin the shaft, 81, it 'runs past the end of that ever arm after rocking the shaft a certain distance, thus ermitting the shaft-trip, 76, to be rocked t rough an angle not limited by the rocking of the shaft, 81; and as soon as the cradle starts in its return trip toward the harvester deck and withdraws the tripper, 7 5, from the trip, 76, the sprin 78, rocking back the trip, 76, retracts t e finger, 79, 'over the end of -the lever arm, 81a., In running upbeyond the end. of the lever yarm, 81a', the finger, 79, is deflected, the spring, 80, yielding for that purpose, leaving both the trip, 76, and the shaft, 81 free to rock back to normal position. The shaft, 81, rocking back thus, the trip arm, 82, is drawn back by the spring, 93, into the path of the terminal of the dog, 83, and collides with the latter upon the com letion of one revolution of the shaft, 85, bringing the shaft and the entire elevating mechanism to rest. The cam edge, 84a, of the disk 84, comprises a radial shoulder, 84h, and is spirally sha ed from the inner to the outer end of the s ioulder, so that as it rotates, the tension of the spring, 93, is increased by the crowding back of the lever arm, 91, and the abutment--a stud-and-roll, 96,-at the end of the arm which rests upon the ed e'of the spiral cam runs of'the shoulder and ecomes engaged behind the same when the encounter 'l of the dog with the lever arm, 82, halts the rotation of the shaft. Such engagement of the lever, 91, with the shoulder prevents the reverse rotation of the elevating mechanism, which might otherwise be caused by the weight of the bundles carried on the elevatortending yto run it back. l'lhe distance to Which the elevator is moved up its inclined path b one rotation of the shaft, 81 is about haf the entire. len thof that path, so that a bundle receive Vat the-foot of the elevator is halted about midway, and a vsecond bundle received upon the next trip of the cradle is carried to the middle, while the preceding one is carried to the top; It is the intention of the mechanism as constructed to deliver' three .bundles from the up er end 'of the elevator over into the shoc receptacle by the travel -fof the elevator at the time the third bundle is received; and to give the elevator the necessary'longer travel for each third bundle delivered to it, there is j ournaled in a hanger or bracket, 97, mounted on the frame, a`gear, 98, which is meshed with a pinion, 99, on the shaft, l8,5, the gear, "98, having upon one side a flange, 98a, extending through about 120 dev ees about the axis of the w arm, 100, countered y the ange, 98, and lodged thereon through the portion of the'rotation eel, and the roc shaft, 81, has a lever projecting-imposition' to be en-V of the Wheel, 98 ,corresponding to the angular extent of the flange. 'While the lever arm is thus lodged on the cam, the shaft, 81, is prevented from rocking to carry the trip arm, 82, back into the path of the dog, 83, and the rotation of the shaft, 85, and the action ofthe i v.elevator is continued, therefore, during the portion of the rotation of the gear, 98, cor,-y

This gear is `journaled ena-bearing, 1021, which adjustablefvtoward and `fromthe axis of the pinion whichdrives it, as shown by the -slotted,arm,97a, of.4 the bracket, 97. i (See Fig.32.) .The purpose ofthis adjust-,ability is to provide fersubstitution of gears of different sizes atthis pointfs'aid gear, l02fwhen Adesigned forcontrolhng thedelivery of three.

On the elevator frame there is fulerumed a lever, 103, having one endextending alongside the gear, 102, and the other end alongside the cam wheel, 104, of the shock binder, and in'position to encounter the tail of the dog, 105, for trip ing it out of engagement with the ratchet liub, 106, oni the sprocket wheel, 107, which is loose on the binder driving shaft, 108, ina.manner wellunder-I stood. On the face of the gear wheel, 102,

there is an abutment, 102a, which encounters the lower end of the lever, 103, once in eaeli rotation of the gear, 102, and rocks 'said lever, 103, for disengagement of its upper'endfrom the trip dog, thereby throwing the binder into action, The binder, which is represented as'a familiar form of harvesterk binder, comprising a binder frame, 142, performs'one complete action in the rotation of the. binder shaft, 108, andthe abutment on the Wheel',

102, having run past the leverl arm, 103,-'

immediately after the latter is Vactuated for tripping the binder, said lever arm is back in position for encountering the trip deg, bringing the binder to-rest when its rotation is com leted'. In order that the binder may be' tlius tripped intofaction, the wheel, 107,-, is`continuously driven by the chain., 109,

passing about'said wheel, 107 ,-and about the -f 'sprocketwheeh 110, fast on lthe' shaft, 111, whichtisA eontinuousl rotated in journal bearings mounted on t e frame bars, 5 and 8,- l by meansv of a chain, 112, passing around the sprocketwheel, 113, on the grainward end of 'said shaft, 111, and around .the sprocket wheel, 1 14, which is rigid with the gear, 87

which is continuously driven, as hereinbefore l explained.'

"The binder arin, 115, extends in a vertical fore-and-aft plane from its iock shaft, 116, which is mounted on' the to'p of the rearside of the shocker frame, being actuated by the connection of the lever arm, 1 1 7, of said rock shaft by means of'a'link, 1118, with arm, 119, on the'binder shaft, 108.

The shock-dischargingdevices, comprising ine'ans for uptilting the shock and carrying it out stubbleward, are actuated by the shock-operating crank shaft', 125, as more particularly hereinafter described. This shaft', 125, has a journal bearing ina bracket,

1326, on the frame bar, 25a,- and at the forlwardend it extends through the sleeveshaft,130, and is journaled in the bracket,

127, mounted onfthe bar, 8, in which the shaft, 1,11, is also journaled.

'prising a disk, 131, on the shaft, 125, on which is pivoted `a spring-actuated dog, 132, Whose spring tends to holdit'in engagement with the ratchet disk, 133, on the rear end ofthe sleeve-shaft, 130. Av trip bolt, 134, sliding in a bearing, 135, supported on the frame bar, 25, is connected by a' link, 136, with a bell-crank lever, 137, fulcrumed on the upright post, 20, the other arm of the lever being connected to-a slide bar, 138, mounted for sliding in a bearing, 139, formed ina bracket which is mounted on the bar, 22. A spring, 140, operates-on the crank lever and connected parts from and including the slide-bolt, 134, to and includingthe slide-bar, 13,8, tending to hold the slide-bolt protruded (as-shown in Fig. 18,) into the ath of the stop-lug, 132, on the dog, 132, or holding the ratchet-engaging abutment of the dog out of engagement with the ratchet disk, 133. A cam, 141, on the binder shaft, 108, is sha ed to come into collision with the end of t e slide-bar, 138, for thrusting down said slide-bar, 138, at the proper time in the rotation of .the bindershaft to disengage the slide-bolt, 134, from Vthe dog, 132, to permit the latter .to become engaged with the ratchet disk, 133, thereby bringing the shock upsetting and discharging devices into action just before the binder comes to rest upon. the retraction'` ofthe needle toits normal position of rest (shown in Fig. v2).

The devices for up-ending and discharging the shock comprise a bottom, 150, for

the shock receptacle which is pivoted on the bar, 31, at the bottom of the stubbleward y the gate here.nafter scribed; ,At its position of rest, the bottom,

150, `extends from its pivot on the bar, 31, upward grainward at a considerable inclination from.. ;horzontalf-from` twenty to thirtykdisgrace.y For voperating it to tilt it up .tofvcrticalnposition for up-ending and discharging theshock, links, 151 and 152, at'theront and rear are connected with the cranks 1251and 125", of the crank shaft, 1,25,A and from cranks extend to pivots, 153, at the inner or underside of the floor, 150. For convenience in adjusting thesepivcts vas ma be desirable, theya-re formed at the endo bars, 156, eachfastened by asingle bolt to the vertical web of the 'angle iron frame, 150, of the-floor, 150, and extending from their fastening past lugs, 157, which roject-down from said frame bar, said lugs eing eachprovided with a-p'lurality/of holes,

' 157, at which the bars, 156, may be bolted to the lugs,v By shifting from hole to, hole,

butts of the 'bundles which will vary in different grain. Stops, 158, are provided to arrest the pitman links, 151 andv152, at substantially horizontal position, so that at all adjustments of the pivots, 153, the pitman links extend at an obtuse angle to the line from their said pivots to the pivot of the floor, 150, von the bar, 31. At this horizontal position the pitman links extend very nearly in the plane of the cranks, so vthat when the cranks start downward in their rotation they operate with great advantage for lifting the licor, traveling through nearly one-sixth of a revolution in order to tilt the floor up the first few inches. B v the time the rotation of the cranks brings them somewhere nearly at right angles to the pitmen so that they thrust the latter q pite directly against the load for .lifting it, t

e load itself has approached so far toward vertical position that the work of lifting it is greatly reduced; and in practice with this construction the'work of starting' up the load is not materially greater than that of continuing its upward movement until it is up-ended and discharged. This is a feature o considerable importance in a machine of this sort in which it is important to avoid imposing upon the harvester traction wheel too great work at any one point, which would cause it to slip onthe ground.

To the slant bars of the elevator frame there are secured transverse` plates, 1GO-and 161, and lodged on'these plates and extending across them are slant bars, 162, 163 and 164, which serve as track plates for the three elevator chains or bundle carriers, 71',4 77, 77.`

The track plate, 161, supports at its upper end the bearing for the upper sprocket wheel, 165, ofthe stubbleward elevator chain, 77, whose driving sprocket wheel, 85a, is fast on the shat,;85, just stubbleward ofthe vertical plane of the slant bar, 13. The other two track plates, 163 and 164, are rigidly connected by cross ties, 163, so that they are adapted to move together as a rigid unitary structure. They are not secured to the transverse lates, 16() 161, but are mounted for sliding longitudinally thereof in direction transverse to the line of travel of the machine, the plates, 160 and 161, having longitudinal slots, 160", and the-track lates having guide studs taking into such s ots.

At the upperl ends of .the track plates, 163 andV 164, are mounted the upper sprocket wheels, 166 and 167, y'of `the two grainward elevator chains or endless carriers, 77, whose driving sprocket wheels 85b and 85c are mounted on the shaft, 85, for rotation there- 'with and capacityv for sliding thereon, which is effected by a fiatkey seat, 85d, on said shaft, 85, to which keys in the hubs of tce wheels are suitably `adapted and may.

The same extent of movement it is desirable-to communicate to the twoy movable elevator.v chains or endless -carriers, 77, which have their upper sprocket wheels mounted, as described, uponv the trackbars, 163 and 164, sincethe move ment in question is employed tondjust the mechanism to. different lengths ofy bundle, and such adjustment is as desirable in order to cause thebundles to be properly carried u-p to the elevator as to cause them to be pro erly related to the plane of the binding cor in the shock. In order to ladjust these elevatorcarriers at vthe same time asthev binder and by the samen device, so as not to require a different action of the driver, the

grainward binder standard, 108 a, is connected by diverging links, 185 and 186, with the track plate, 163, which is the stubbleward of the two rigidly connected and movable track plates by which the two elevator chains in question are carried.

The vshock receptacle is provided at the ioo stubbleward side at which the shock is ejected with a gate for retaining the shock until it is to be ejected and which serves as a buttevener in the process. of accumulating the bundles and a sup ort forthe shockvwhile' it dp and ejected. This gate consists o the Jframe bar, '3.1, and provided at itsforward end with an arm, 155, alt-right angles 'to said rock shaft, and carrying projecting from it so as to' extend parallelfrom the rock shaft a'series; of fingers, 190.... The rock shaft, ,154, is operated bymeans of a link, 191, connect- 'ed to an offset arm, 154, of'said rock shaft and to a crank, 125, 'of'the shaft, `125, so that the rotationof said 'shaft' by which the bot- .'tom of the shockr receptacleis swung up'for 11p-ending and ejectingthe shock swings the arm, y1 55, from upstanding position at which Y the fingers; f1 90, extend acrossgtheotherwise open side of the'sliock receptacle-'orsto' ping .the butts of the .bundles'i'n' th accuniui'ationI of the shockdown to va*substantiallyhorizontal position extending"- of-fstubbljeward vthe shock, which, by the ejecting nient isset up on' the stubble voutside the machine. The -ingers, 190, preferably extend, as

shown, from the outer or under side of they der the shock as the machine advances afterward side 'ofgthe receptacle, and extends thence in afore-'andeaft verticalplane to a point which, when an arm ishorizontal, is outside the shock when the latter is set up Von the stubble, and at such oint, 184", it 1s bent rearward, forming a stu bleward guard, 1840. Thisarm, pivoted as described, is connected by a link, 187, with the arm, 155, so that the rocking of. the shaft, 154, -carrying the arm, 155, from upstanding. horizontal position swings the guard arm down stubbleward in frontV of the shock, its rearwardly extending arm, 184, passing down outside the shock,l so that the latter is checked against a tendency to fall either forward or. stubbleward whenit is ejected from the'inachine and the b'iitt strikes the stubble.

Onthe rearend of the rockshaft, 154, there is attached a lever arm, 191, having in its end an eye, 191a, for Vthe binding cord, A 19.2, which runs from the cordreceptacle, 193, to said eye and thence through an eye, 194, of a small bracket mounted at the rear end of the frame bar, 6, vto the eye of the needle'or binder, 115. The length of the arm, 190, in view of the arc through which it swin s, is calculated to be suflicient to draw near y enough cord to serve substantially for enconipassin the shock, and the binder arm is relieved o the duty of drawing the cord for `this purpose, except to such extent-as the slack drawn bythe arm, 190, may be intentionally made a little less than required, so
